[opensuse-buildservice] Using the OSB to build OSS Software for AIX
Hi, I would like to create a build server for OSS running on AIX since the support from IBM for OSS on AIX is pretty marginal. The software versions build for AIX shall be equal to a given SLES version. This gives the opportunity to run the same software on AIX and Linux. An AIX server and compiler are available and reachable via the internet. So the question I have: - Does the OpenSuse build system is sutiable /usable for such a task ? tia Hajo -- Hans-Joachim Ehlers Unix System Engineer EUMETSAT N�����r��y隊Z)z{.���Wlz��qﮞ˛���m�)z{.��+�Z+i�b�*'jW(�f�vǦj)h���Ǜ�)]���Ǿ��i����� ��

We have never tried :) However, I guess you want to build rpm packages for AIX, right ? So you could try to build such a package with the build script from build.rpm on AIX. If this is working the rest should work as well. Maybe you need small fixes in this script. Tell us, if we can help you there. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

In general it would be cool to support more platforms in general - perhaps Cygwin. Supporting Windows Native would be even better but I afraid it is too much work. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov"

It would be great if openpkg (http://openpkg.org/) would be supported. -- Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

I have taken a look at the build.rpm. It will not be able to create a chroot environment but this is on AIX not a big problem. As far as I understand the tool osc ( written in python ) is needed. The readme says that other python modules needed as well. I will see if I can install them on AIX. But which python version is needed as a minimum ? As mentioned already I would like to have the some software versions later on AIX as compared to a given OpenSuse Software version. The question which arise here is simply - how do I know which software versions are used for a given OpenSuse version ? - Is there a way to build for a given Software version with osc ? tia Hajo In case the OBS project needs a IBM power5 machine I can provide a VM running either Suse Linux or AIX for free use and accessible via the internet ( 2 shared p5 2.1 GHz CPUs , 10GB disk space and 1.25 GB RAM ) N�����r��y隊Z)z{.���Wlz��qﮞ˛���m�)z{.��+�Z+i�b�*'jW(�f�vǦj)h���Ǜ�)]���Ǿ��i����� ��
